I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

After everyone arrived, the carriage slowly set off. Prince Rui's Mansion was in Dongcheng District, very close to the Imperial Palace, and they arrived at the palace gate a quarter of an hour later.

When we arrived at the palace gate, we saw that many officials had already arrived with their families. Except for the wives and officials with the third rank or above who could ride in the sedan chairs arranged by the palace, everyone else could only walk to the palace for dining.

As soon as Li Rui got off the carriage, Gao, the eunuch beside the emperor, came to greet him and got on the sedan chair. Before getting on the sedan chair, he glanced in the direction of An Muxi, thought for a while, and gave a few instructions to Jianying before getting on.

An Muxi and Dai Meng got off the carriage, and soon a palace maid came to greet them. Many high-ranking officials' families recognized this person. She was Lian Xin, the queen's personal maid.

The maid recognized Dai Meng at a glance, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to her, then said: "I, the servant Lianxin, am here on the orders of the Empress to pick up Princess Tianyue. Please get into the sedan chair."

Dai Meng wanted to take An Muxi with him to the sedan chair, but Lian Xin said, "Others please go to the palace on your own."

Dai Meng also knew that this was the Tiansheng Palace, so she could only abide by their rules and looked at An Muxi helplessly.

An Muxi smiled indifferently and said softly: "Go ahead, it's okay, we'll see each other later."

Dai Meng then got on the sedan chair and entered the palace with her two maids.

Lu Qingxue came over and said to her, "Can you do it yourself? I want to go in by sedan chair too."

An Muxi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I haven't seen the palace yet, so I'll take a look at the scenery here."

So Lu Qingxue followed the palace maid who came to lead the way and got into the sedan chair.

Xu Wanying walked up to An Muxi with a look of jealousy on her face: "I don't know what means you used to get the prince to bring you into the palace. Follow me, don't act like an inexperienced person and bring shame to the Rui Palace."

An Muxi rolled her eyes in her heart. This woman really feels good about herself. With her outfit, she has already embarrassed the Rui Palace, okay? Not to mention that when she speaks, she loses a front tooth, which is simply ridiculous.

She ignored Xu Wanying and followed the crowd forward with Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue.

Xu Wanying was furious when she saw her attitude, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise. She could only grit her teeth in hatred and said, "You'd better be honest and don't cause any trouble for the prince."

An Muxi did not stop and continued to move forward.

Some of the women around her obviously didn't know An Muxi, and they were all wondering when the imperial family had such an outstanding woman. Those who passed by her would secretly look at her.

Some female relatives who had known each other for a long time gathered in groups of three or four to chat, and some of them would secretly sneer when they saw Xu Wanying.

An Muxi ignored the people around her and just looked at this majestic palace curiously. The buildings here all have deep eaves, straight roofs, huge brackets, and regular shapes, which are quite similar to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.

The colors of the buildings are all blue-gray, not as bright as imagined, but they are simple, elegant, and dignified.

There are many neatly trimmed flowers and trees on both sides of the road. It is worthy of being a palace, and it exudes a high-end atmosphere everywhere.

Just as An Muxi was still looking around, she heard a shrill female voice: "Why are you here?"

An Muxi didn't recognize who it was at first and thought they weren't talking to her, so she continued walking forward.

But Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue beside her changed their expressions a little. Qiu Shuang reminded in a low voice: "Master, it is Miss Bai Yueli from the Ningguo Mansion."

An Muxi was speechless. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

But she didn't want to pay any attention to this annoying woman. She hadn't settled the score with her for drugging her in the theater last time. If this woman dared to make trouble for her today, don't blame her for being rude.

An Muxi pretended not to know and continued walking forward.

Then I heard the woman behind me jogging up to me and shouting, "Hey, stop! I'm talking to you!"

An Muxi knew she couldn't hide anymore, so she finally stopped and turned to look at the woman in front of her with a confused look on her face.

"Are you talking to me?"

Bai Yueli choked. Was this woman pretending not to know her? Then she angrily asked, "Why don't you recognize me?"

An Muxi was still confused: "Are you Guanyin Bodhisattva? Does everyone recognize you?"

Some of the female relatives around laughed secretly. The daughter of the Ningguo mansion was indeed as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said.

Bai Yueli was so angry, what did this woman mean? Could it be that he really couldn't recognize her?

"Don't you remember the last time you hit my carriage?"

An Muxi pretended to be enlightened and said, "Oh, it's you, but don't confuse right and wrong, your brother has already compensated me for the loss of your crashing into my carriage.

I won't pursue you. Fortunately, I am a good person and have forgotten the past. What else do you want from me?"

The women who loved to watch the fun had already smelled something interesting and were pulling their relatives and friends to watch from afar.

Xu Wanying looked at them with a gloating look. She didn't expect An Muxi to have offended Bai Yueli from Ningguo Mansion, who was a person who would not suffer any loss. She recognized Bai Yueli from a palace banquet before.

Bai Yueli could sense the whispers of the people around her. Thinking of the warnings given by her father and brother before she left, she suppressed her anger and said, "Whose family are you from?"

She must find out the identity of this woman today. No matter where she came from, her status is definitely not as high as that of the Duke's Mansion.

Apart from the Imperial Palace, the Duke's Mansion has the highest status, so she did not act arrogantly.

She was very sure that this woman was not from the palace and she had never seen her among the women in the palace, so she must be the daughter of an official.

So she was not polite at all and just wanted to use her power to overwhelm others.

An Muxi rolled her eyes, not afraid to tell her.

"I'm from the Rui Palace. What's the matter?"

Bai Yueli was surprised, and her expression changed. No matter how powerful their Duke's Mansion was, they would not dare to provoke Prince Rui's Mansion.

But she had seen the princess and concubines of the King Rui, and had never heard that the King Rui had taken another concubine. However, only the princess and concubines were eligible to attend the palace banquet.

She was unsure of An Muxi's identity and didn't dare to make things difficult for her.

At this time, a woman came up and said, "I heard that Miss Bai was only released from house arrest for a month. Why is she making things difficult for me as soon as she entered the palace?"

Bai Yueli looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a white gauze dress standing in front of her. The woman had a soft and beautiful appearance and a refined temperament. She was Jiang Siyu, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel.

She said angrily, "Who is making things difficult for me? I'm just asking casually."

Especially when she thought about the reason why she was grounded, she felt a little guilty, so she looked at the two people in front of her with hatred and said, "I don't want to bother with you."

After saying that, he walked quickly to the front with his maid.

Jiang Siyu saw An Muxi looking at her, so she smiled and nodded, then left without saying a word.

An Muxi was a little puzzled. Who was this woman? She didn't even know her, so why would she speak for her?

Qiuyue whispered, "Master, the woman you just saw is Jiang Siyu, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel."

Qiu Shuang added: "I heard that the prince recently wanted to marry her as his princess."

Qiuyue added: "It has been rumored that the prince and Bai Yueli were very close, and everyone thought they were going to get married."

An Muxi then understood that these two women were the popular candidates for the position of Crown Princess.

She couldn't help but admire her two maids, who were like the little Baidu of Tiansheng. It seemed that there was nothing they didn't know.

She was a little confused. The more she looked at these two maids, the less they looked like ordinary maids.

Just as she was looking at her two maids, she saw a young eunuch coming towards her with a sedan chair following him.
